How is it then that my 72 year old mother uses iOS 7 just fine yet prior to last year never used a mobile device in her life?
I asked this on another thread but got no reply.. Can you list maybe a top 10 of what they have stolen.. if its true they have copied loads of stuff it shudnt be too hard.. thanks in advance..
You have the option of making your own OS or going to a different OS. No one is forcing you to stay. Good luck with your lawsuit or new OS endeavors.
Actually the courts did decide to the tune of almost $1 Billion. So yeah what he said.
Hi guys. I'm watching this site for a long time but I've never post anything. I'm still using an iPhone 2G 2.3.1. The battery isn't that good as it was in 2007 but the phone still working well. I've been thinking about change to newer and better model but I've been a bit lazy. Nevertheless I believe it is time fo me to buy a new iPhone. I was looking forward to iPhone 6 but If they use 4.7 or even more I'm definitely going for 5S. Even it is not feel as sturdy and solid as 4/4S. What is my point? Nothing. Bring back the old solid iPhones with 4 inch screens! Call it iPhone mini or iPhone dwarfy I don't care but I do not want to hang out with phone big as my hand.
I think it's very interesting that they considered having the screen on at all times in the locked state. The reason they added a lock button is because they couldn't.
Makes me think in the future we might see screens that are always on.

I read this post and can't help but wonder one thing...
How can you possibly tolerate being on AT&T's EDGE network? It was bad enough back in 2007 when it was still considered current; these days a lot of the spectrum has been re-farmed to UTMS/HSDPA and LTE; there's not much left! Your experience must be absolutely atrocious and near-unusable!

EDIT: Is this thing on? One of Apples fundamental guiding principals is to create devices that work so well you're not aware of your interactions with it. For those bitching about normal people and apple dumbing down the world, you missing the point.

Nah, I thought they ruined everything with the textures everywhere. Which actually has been in OS X since the beginning. :\
Early builds of OS X had a pinstripe background to match the iMacs and G3s of the time. The original Cinema Displays matched that style exactly, too. When 10.3 came around, they ditched that, going for a smooth white with brushed metal.
Come to think of it, I actually liked the pinstriping then, but iOS went too far with textures everywhere. Glossy this, and felt that. It just started looking like a game of MYST or something. I'm surprised the address book program didn't start with an animation of the book zooming in and opening up.
It got pretty tacky pretty fast.

And what exactly does that setting indicate?
On another note
My god you people will absolutely bitch about anything won't you. I really have never seen in one place such a bunch of whiny people.
Apple won't make their OS more complicated. It'd be a suicide for them (all those non-tech-savvy customers would just jump ship), unless they went the Samsung way.
Samsung simply introduced a "Simple" mode, achievable via a switch in Settings, in addition to the default one, which greatly simplifies the OS of their handsets. Then, they become as simple-to-use as iOS, while, of course, disabling a LOT of advanced features (menus etc).
Apple could go this way but I really don't think they will. After all, the big money is in the tech unsavvy people. Why would they cater for us "nerd" "geeks" or simply tech-savvy people when they already have their money by catering for the unsavvy?
Really? The "Slide to Unlock" was not invented by him or Apple.

This is why I love Apple. It isn't just about Apple developing the best technologies that the rest of the industry rips off like sheep. But Apple spends a huge amount of time making that technology accessible for all people from all backgrounds. Whether you're a technophobe, have a serious disability, or are a creative on the cutting-edge of technology, Apple's devices and software are made for you.
